Video Transcript for Review of Blue Ox Replacement 1000 lbs TW SwayPro Spring Bars - BXW4007
Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at these Blue Ox replacement spring bars for your SwayPro weight distribution system. Now, this kit is going to include the two spring bars, lift chains, and necessary hardware needed to replace your SwayPro spring bars. Now, one of the really nice things about the SwayPro system is that you can simply switch out your spring bars. So, if you get a lighter trailer or a heavier trailer, makes sure that your ride is gonna be nice and smooth.
You can simply switch out the spring bars so that it's got the right weight capacity for you, rather than having to get a whole new system. So, we do have lots of different spring bar sets that will range from a tongue weight of 200 pounds up to a tongue weight of 2000 pounds. So, you just need to make sure that you're getting the right set for your setup's tongue weight. The bars do all look very similar. They are going to have slight thickness differences, but the easiest way to tell which bar set you have, they use a dot system.
So, the 350 pound bars are not gonna have a dot. Your 550 pound max tongue weight is gonna have one dot, like we have here. So, these are our 550 pound max tongue weight. But then on that list there, you can see those dots on the right side. So, it goes up to five dots for your 2000 pound tongue weight rating.
So, just make sure you're getting the right one for your setup so that it's not gonna be too rigid and it's going to engage properly for you. All these sets are going to work with both your older locking-pin style pivot tubes. So, they've got the divot there on the top, so your locking pin will grab onto that to secure these into your head unit. And they are also going to work with your newer style through-pin style locking tube so that you can get that pin passed all the way through there to secure that. So whether you have the older style or the newer, this will work great for you.
These are made here in the USA, so you can trust they're made to the high quality standards we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US, but more than that, because they are a Blue Ox product, you can trust they are gonna fit right into your SwayPro system, and you're not gonna have any issues with it. It's just going to accommodate for either replacing the spring bars that you already have or adjusting your setup for that different tongue weight. So, that completes our look for today, again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Professional advice and service. They helped me upgrade my Blue Ox hitch to a larger capacity for a heavier camper.

Heavier bars for a heavier trailer. Just right. Customer service with etrailer is wonderful!

We purchased a bigger trailer and needed the more heavy-duty bars for our Blue Ox. Our order was promptly received and has worked well. We are happy with this purchase.

For the F-150, Ford recommends load distribution bars for all trailer towing 5000 lbs and over. I purchased the Blue Ox Weight distribution System as was recommended by etrailer. I ordered two sets of bars, a1000# set for loads under 5000#s and a 1500# set for when my trailer is loaded to the max which is 12,000#. I am now able to dial in the exact combination needed to keep my truck level and tracking true no mater how my trailer is loaded. I can now easily tow light and heavy loads at 65MPH with out the fear of excessive sway. Thank you etrailer for solving my trailer sway problems.
by: Doug08/02/2018
Blue Ox is the BEST weight distribution and anti-sway system on earth. Much easier and smoother than others. Bought a heavier trailer and got heavier bars. Plug and play. Highly recommend also buying a tongue scale as all my buddies use mine now and everyone has been surprised how much heavier their tongue weight is compared to what they thought.

Still awesome! No issues and my buddies who saved money on cheaper systems are figuring out they should have bought the Blue Ox. No problem reversing, change bars for different trailer weights, easier daily use, and better sway control. Very happy with this purchase.

E-Trailer was very quick to deliver the new 1000 lb spring bars and they were exactly as advertised. I have used them several times and my trailer sway has been reduced to a manageable level.

I have been using the original Blue Ox Sway Pro since 2011. It was a different design that used heavy round spring bars. Over time they bent so I wanted to replace them. Turned out that the modern (flat) spring bars will not quite fit into the old head, so I decided to buy the newer head. I was told by trailer that the part that is connected to the trailer A frame (the latch) would accept the chains on these new spring bars. Not so. The new bars angle down at a much steeper angle and made it impossible to use my old latches. So I had to buy them with a separate order. After all was said and done, I am happy with the new modern hitch...but I would add that it's really no better than the original.

I put .10,000 miles on the new bars with the heavier trailer this year...not a single issue..tows like a dream!
by: V. nolan01/31/2018
The sway bars arrived well packaged with no damage. I was able to use and test the bars when I picked up my new trailer and towed approximately 350 miles back home. The bars performed as Blue Ox advertised. etrailer has always been attentive to you and the product purchased. The staff is professional and knowledgeable. I have purchased other products from etrailer with the same excellent service.
I am a repeat customer.

Received my 1000 lbs replacement Blue Ox spring bars in a reasonable amount of time. The bars did the trick for the larger travel trailer I recently purchased. I'm pleased with the quality of service and product.
by: Jose 08/11/2021
We had 750lb bars but our tongue weight exceeded that weight so I bought the 1000lb bars and now they transferred the weight needed to the steering axles and the truck performs much better.

I just received the order for the 1000 lbs Blue Ox bars. I'm currently running 750 lbs bars, but have weighed my camper and it's over. I received them quickly and no crushed boxes.
Probably a couple of weeks before I get to try them out.
by: Harry F03/23/2015
Not much can be said about a couple of spring bars. i needed heavier bars because I changed to a trailer with a heavier tongue weight. The eTrailer price was excellent with fast and free shipping. Very happy with their web site and service.

Great system. Huge difference in towing. etrailer delivered earlier then promised. Appreciate the great price and customer service.
by: Michael02/23/2022
After doing some research I discovered that my weight bars were potentially too heavy(heaver is not always better) so I ordered these lower weight bars to be more in the proper weight range. I'm hoping this will improve my control even more.
also,very efficient,fast shipping and communication!!!
Thank You

Genuine Blue Ox replacement parts. Everything exactly as expected with prompt delivery. Thank you!
by: Daniel06/30/2018
The first set of bars had quality issues. There must have been contamination on the metal prior to applying the protective coating. Someone needs to do final inspection. The replacement ones work as advertised. First time setup took a little while but each hookup there after should be a breeze. What a difference pulling 6,000 lbs with the Sway-Pro.
by: Scott M05/29/2017
Old bars were found to be too light , etrailer had these, and got them to me fast .. and cheaper than the competetor.

- How to Determine Spring Bar Rating of Blue Ox Weight Distribution SystemBlue Ox has an easy system for determining the weight capacity of your spring bars, whereas other companies may use measurements or printed capacity to assist. With Blue Ox, there is a 5 dimple system: No dimples means it is rated for up to 350 lbs total tongue weight. One dimple means it is rated for up to 550 lbs. Two dimples indicates up to 750 lbs. Three dimples indicates up to 1,000 lbs. Four dimples indicates up to 1,500 lbs tongue weight. Five dimples indicates up to 2,000 lbs total...

- Air Bags or Weight Distribution for Towing a Flagstaff Epro with a 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500When it comes to leveling out or supporting a trailer towing setup a weight distribution (WD) system is almost always the recommendation when compared to air bags. The reason being that air bags will help to level the towing setup, but a WD system distributes that tongue weight between all axles (both tow vehicle and trailer) which not only helps to level the towing setup, but it also improves handling. The only time that air bags would really be recommended over WD is if the pickup is...
view full answer... - Can You Use Spring Bars Rated For 1,000 lbs With Bars Rated For 1,500lbsThe 3 dimples on the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System # BXW4008 indicate they are rated for up to 1,000lbs total tongue weight, and the 4 dimples mean they are rated for up to 1,500lbs. That being said you can not mix these because they would need to be matching, as well as they are sold in pairs. If you wanted to swap your 3 dot bars rated at 1,000lbs # BXW4007 with 4 dot bars # BXW4008 rated at 1,500lbs, you'd have to change both bars.
view full answer... - How To Choose Correct Weight Springs Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight DistributionThe correct way to select the right Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution is based on the tongue weight of the loaded trailer plus any gear behind the rear axle in the tow vehicle. The two dot bars part # BXW4006 are rated for up to 750 lbs, the three dot bars part # BXW4007 are rated for up to 1,000 lbs and the four dot bars part # BXW4008 are rated up to 1,500 lbs. It's best to be just a bit under the weight capacity but so long as you are not exceeding this you'll be fine.
view full answer... - How to Determine Spring Bar Weight Rating Needed for my Blue Ox Sway Pro System?There is a great way to figure this out. Basically you just want to determine your tongue weight and add that to whatever cargo you will have behind the rear axle. You then use this weight to determine which spring bars are right for your situation. You should choose a bar that has your tongue weight in the middle of its range. For example if your tongue weight is 890 lbs then I recommend Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System - 1,000 lbs TW part # BXW4007...

If you have the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW0750 then all you will need is the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW4007 to get the correct weight range.

I recommend using the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Shank for 2" Hitches - 12" Long - 9 Hole Adjustment # BXW4003.

The Blue Ox weight distribution systems like the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BXW1500 all use the same head. The bars are the component that determines the capacity of the system. The Blue Ox has a dimple system on their spring bars. It is near the base of the bar where it goes into the head. I have linked a picture to show you where to look. No dimples means it is rated for up to 350 lbs total tongue weight. One dimple means...

- Can Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution Upgrade to 1,500 lb Spring BarsThanks so much for that good info, and one of the nice things about the Blue Ox SwayPro weight distribution hitches is that when you upgrade your trailer to something heavier (or lighter) you can simply swap out the spring bars to ones with the right rating, and you're set. So you don't have to purchase anything else for the system, you can just add the spring bars. Since loaded tongue weight rating is going to be in the range of 12 percent, you will want to go with the SwayPro bars rated...
view full answer... - Blue Ox Spring Bar Recommendation For 925 lbs Tongue WeightYour tongue weight is a bit too light for a 1,500 lb tongue weight Blue Ox weight distribution system like part # BXW1500. This kit has a tongue weight range of between 1,000 and 1,500 lbs. So yours being at 925 is too light and is why your ride probably feels a bit rough. Best option is to replace your bars with the 1,000 lb spring bars part # BXW4007 which will work well with your tongue weight.
view full answer... - How to Determine Which Blue Ox Spring Bars I Have to Determine Their Tongue Weight CapacityThere's a surprisingly easy way you can determine exactly what spring bars you have and therefore exactly what their tongue weight rating is. The bars are going to have dimples on them (see accompanying photo) which is going to tell you the bars you have and the corresponding tongue weight capacity. No Dimples = 200 lbs to 350 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity: Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW4015 1 Dimple = 350 lbs to 550 lbs Tongue Weight Capacity: Spring Bars # BXW4005 2 Dimples = 550...

- Can I Upgrade Blue Ox Sway Pro Weight Distribution System With Higher Rated Spring BarsYou certainly can upgrade your Blue Ox Sway Pro weight distribution system part # BXW0550 by replacing the spring bars with part # BXW4007. All of the Sway Pro systems use the same weight distribution head so they will fit. The 1,000 lbs TW replacement spring bars are rated for trailer tongue weights 750 lbs to 1,000 lbs so they will work well for you.
view full answer... - Can the Blue Ox SwayPro 15K System Be Used on a 7K TrailerIt sounds like you may have the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW1500 which is rated for a gross trailer weight of 15,000 lbs. If this is the case then you can use it to pull your trailer with a gross trailer weight of 7,000 lbs however, the system will not perform as well as one more accurately rated for the weight of the trailer. The spring bars will likely not have enough tension on them which is going to translate to less distribution and reduced sway control. Therefore,...
view full answer... - Can 550 lb Tongue Weight Blue Ox Weight Distribution System be Upgraded To Heavier Spring BarsThe Sway Pro systems from the highest to the lowest rated all use the same weight distribution head. To change the weight rating of the system, you'd simply swap out the spring bars. For up to 750 lb tongue weight we have the part # BXW4006 or for up to 1,000 lbs # BXW4007.
view full answer... - Can Blue Ox SwayPro Rated For 2,000 lb Tongue Weight be Used on Multiple Smaller TrailersTechnically, as long as the system will fit the trailers (have a frame height between 3" and 6"), even if they are much lighter you can use the SwayPro system you asked about with a 2,000 lb tongue weight rating: - Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - Underslung - 20K GTW, 2K TW # BXW2003 The issue though, is that with a system rated so much higher than needed, the ride will be very stiff and rigid, and the trailer will bounce a lot to the point that it would...
view full answer... - 1,000 lb Blue Ox SwayPro Replacement Spring Bars to Upgrade From 750 lb BarsThat's an excellent question, and the way weight distribution hitches work in regards to rating is that you need to take into account your total tongue weight, which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded trailer, plus the weight of any cargo that is behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. So the 100 lbs of gear in your truck bed will absolutely be a factor, and you will want to upgrade from the 750 lb Blue Ox SwayPro spring bars to the 1,000 lb rated bars, which are the following...

view full answer... - Will Heavier Spring Bars Decrease Trailer PorpoisingIf the trailer does not have enough weight on the tongue relative to the weight of the trailer (ideally between 10-15%) then you can experience issues with porpoising. A weight distribution system will generally fix most porpoising issues as it helps better distribute the load more evenly but if the springs bars are too weak they can flex more and give in to porpoising. The best solution would be to rearrange weight on the trailer but stiffer springs bars would also help to alleviate some...
view full answer... - Are Long or Short Torsion Arms Better for a Weight Distribution SystemThe reason long bars on weight distribution (WD) systems, like the Strait-Line # RP66074, are so popular is because that means the clamps for the trailer frame will sit about 30" away from the coupler. Typically this avoids items that sit on the tongue, like propane tanks. Short arms are a great substitute for when things like propane tanks get in the way. There really is no advantage or disadvantage of using long or short arms other than the location of other things on the tongue of your...

If you trailer's dry hitch weight is 456-lbs, then by the time you load your gear and supplies and fill your water and/or propane tanks it is quite likely you'll be in the range of 650 to 700-lbs TW.

I am still very impressed with this trailer hitch set up. I now have a 2018 Ford Raptor . Ford has reduced the towing capabilities of this 450 hp truck to only 8000 because of the extra soft suspension set up. I can still tow 7500 at 65 mph with out fear of sway problems.
